Chapter 269: The Indignant Geng Jing Shu

Just now, Geng Jing Shu had already heard something; the voice on the phone should have been a woman's.

Oh, that's how it is, there's something urgent outside, I have to go deal with it right away, you should rest early.

What urgent matter? So rushed, is it company business?

Ah, it's probably company business too, alright, you don't need to worry about it, I estimate I'll be late when I come back, so I won't disturb you, when I arrive I'll go straight to the study.

After saying that, he hurriedly left immediately.

Geng Jing Shu felt suspicious; in the middle of the night, a woman's phone call had summoned him away—just how important could this woman be to Xiao Yunzhe?

Geng Jing Shu glanced at the time; the wall clock already pointed to ten o'clock. So late, a woman had called him out—could there be some secret between them?

She certainly couldn't swallow this anger, and women have always been unable to tolerate even a speck of sand in their eyes.

Thinking this through, she simply put on her clothes, then immediately followed him, driving after him.

All along the way, she saw Xiao Yunzhe park his car at the roadside, then get out and enter a red sedan.

Exactly, a red sedan—she saw it clearly; normally only women would drive such a car.

But because it was night and the lighting was dim, she couldn't make out who that person was.

Just then, a large vehicle came from the opposite direction, and that woman glanced back; at that moment, she clearly saw the woman's face.

Indeed, she saw it clearly—that person was Zong Mengni.

Moreover, at that time, it was this woman who destroyed everything of hers.

But she never imagined that a woman who bore such deep hatred toward her, and her own husband, would secretly meet in the dead of night—what unspeakable secret could they share?

For some reason, Geng Jing Shu suddenly felt a surge of hatred welling up in her chest.

She simply clenched her fists, wishing she could rush over and drag that dog of a man and woman out of the car.

But she knew she couldn't do that now.

All of this, for Geng Jing Shu, is a tremendous challenge.

But she also realizes that now is not the time to act; she must endure all of this.

She just sat quietly in the car, and after a while noticed that the two were whispering to each other from time to time, though she couldn't make out what they were saying.

He also worried that this matter would be discovered by Xiao Yunzhe,

So she hastily turned the car around and drove away from here.

"Exactly, the way I look at his back and side profile, he really does resemble him."

At this moment, Xiao Yunzhe and Zong Mengni, the two of them, were in the car looking at that person,

They felt that this person resembled the several individuals who had bound Zong Mengni that night.

"I'm just not entirely sure, and that day when I first went in, they blindfolded me, so I couldn't tell clearly."

"I just remember that tall, sturdy guy—yeah, it's him over there, the one now raising his wine cup—have you seen that person?"

"Hmm, I saw him."

"That day, it was him who came from behind, circled around, and grabbed me, but I ran faster, so I didn't get caught; however, I clearly remember that on his right cheek, there is a black mole."

After hearing Xiao Yunzhe's words, Zong Mengni merely nodded,

then took a close look—sure enough, there really was a clear black mole there.

"So does that mean these people are really here? Yunzhe, what should we do now—should we call the police?"

"No, if we call the police now we might scare them off, and we have no solid evidence; back then, didn't your dad say we shouldn't report it?"

"But how can they be so brazen? They're still here eating and drinking at this hour."

"I'm not sure either—could it be that after their previous attempt failed, those people still paid them?"

"I'm not entirely clear either, but I just feel that things look strange, and I don't know exactly what feeling it is."

After Zong Mengni finished speaking, she lifted her head to look at Xiao Yunzhe.

She is just a woman, so at this moment she seemed to suddenly lose her resolve.

She didn't know whether to tell her father about this; if she did, what kind of reaction would he have?

"Well then, since we've already seen them and it's already this late, I expect they'll probably finish soon."

"And after that, what do you want to do?"

"After that, we want to figure out how to tail them, see where they're living—only if we clarify their residence might this be a good approach for us."

"Residence?"

Zong Mengni merely frowned, not understanding.

He doesn't understand; even if we figure out their residence, what could we do then? Would we have to go to their place and drag them out?

"You want to gather something, right?"

"Exactly, only after we clarify his residence can we collect anything; I believe that if they truly have been bribed, then what they do is certainly not limited to this one thing."

"I understand what you mean, but Yunzhe, is this really necessary? I just saw you looking curious afterward, so I called you over."

Zong Mengni's intention seemed somewhat apologetic; after all, it's already this late, calling someone out really isn't appropriate.

"Hehe, it's fine; I wasn't sleeping at home tonight anyway, might as well come over and take a good look at this person to see who they are."

"I, I called you out like this—what about your wife? Doesn't she have any reaction?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing going on, and I often rush out in the middle of the night due to company matters, so he's long been accustomed to all this."
